An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) No Way Out, the 1950 Joseph L. Mankiewicz race relations crime film noir ("Is it a question... Or an answer"; "an entertainment with a great courageous theme reaching to new heights of screen dynamics with seven new conceptions of dramatic portrayal"; "Don't miss it!"; "All colored cast"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and Written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz & Lesser Samuels) starring Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell, Stephen McNally, Sidney Poitier (in his first major film), Mildred Joanne Smith (in her only movie appearance, as Poitier's wife), Harry Bellaver, Stanley Ridges, Dots Johnson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Francine Everett, Frederick O'Neal, and Davis Roberts NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Erik Nitsche Important Added Info: Note that the unusual image on this very striking poster (which is mostly a solid background with cut-outs of Widmark's eyes and a terrified Darnell being grabbed) was decades ahead of its time (and we don't know how the studios or moviegoers reacted to this most unusual image). One unifying image from the No Way Out advertising campaign is the provocative handcuffs/bed image (first suggested by Saul Bass) which Bass, Paul Rand and Nitsche all used in their designs. This is a very rare poster that have only previously auctioned three times before! Condition: good to very good. The poster has small scuffs scattered throughout the brown background and there are some partial vertical scuffs above the "n" of the title (see our image). There are a few tiny blank border defects. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after paperbacking the poster will display well! Learn More about condition grades
